AN EXPERIMENT WITH soRaHUM -,
will also be made, as there are several
acres of that plant on the place, expected
to be ripe i'll October. Mr.. Spencer in.
forms us that the first crop, now ripe,
polarlZeS higher than our average ripe
tropical cane. Thus it appears that there
is a possibility of our making three crops
OF sugar annually-two from sorghum and
one from our Southern cane.
PREPARING FOR ANY EMERGENCY
Gov. Warmoth, while he hopes to have
but little use for his mill (as diffusion pro-.
misses at least 200 lbs. sugar per ton Of
cane against his 100 lbs, last Year, is still
preparing to work as if there were no
difusors within q hundred miles of him.
He has had a new roller made for his two
roller supplemental mill, it. being 5 feet
long by 81 inches in diameter, while the
three roller mill is 4 feet A inches long by
~ inches diameter; he is putting in q
new spur wheel aud piniOn, which will in-
crease the power 80 per CEN.
a NEW NATIONAL CANE SHREDDER,
OF the latest improved style, will be put
up III place of the original one; o mesc
0GcaNns pan, 1O3 feet high with two sets
OF coils, one six inch and the other tour
inch, with capacity to make about 10000
lbs, of sugar per strike every four hours,
and to boil with 5 lbs. of steam, against
40 lbs. by the old pan. This superior
pan IS being made Messrs. Edwards &
Haubtman.
A VARYAN QUADBUPLE EFFECT
evaporation, built to evaporate 10000 gall
Ions of water in "a hours, with s lbs.
pressure of exhaust steam, will be put up
in tim for this sugar making season,
which, together with his former double
effect apparatus and his new vacuum pan
Will give him ample e~vaporating capacity
for both sugar houses. His work will all
be separate and distinct from that of the
diffusion house. and by having separate
syrup tanks, each can work at any time
without Interfering with the other. The
only use he will have for the diffusion plant
will be'in having his skimmings filtered by
them, since he has sold his filter presses of
last year, expecting to purchase the superb
Or ones OF the diffusion plant.
WITH 600 ACRES OF CANES
for diffusion and the mill, and q tonnage
per acre fully double that of last season
Magnolia plantation and the diffusion ex-
pertinent will be the centre of attract
ton this coming season. Mr.. 81. Dust
Manu., the able manager of Magnolia field
WORK, VIII Oe aS nappy as GOV. WarmOth'
when the largest crop ever made on the
place is next season housed by twin es.
Establishments. .
The numerous visitors who will go to
witness the working of this large collec.
ton of new and improved machinery will
have every facility afforded them by the
Red River and Coast Line steamers, which
make daily trips below there, and by the.
New Orleans and Gulf railroad, which
will probably run two trains each way
daily, on the opposite bank, and to cross
and accommodate his planting friends,
Gov. Warmoth has purchased a steam
yateh, which may be utilized for that
purpose, but we may believe. it is designed
more especially as u pleasure craft. There
is also a public skiff ferry at, Po~inte-a.la.
Hache, which is but a mile above Magnolia
plantation.
